96% of water in Gaza Strip unfit for drinking
The International Committee for Supporting the Rights of the Palestinian People (Hashed) stated that 96% of the water in the Gaza Strip is unfit for drinking, due to the complete collapse of infrastructure.
In a policy paper, Hashd revealed an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe resulting from the deliberate destruction of water and sanitation infrastructure by the Israeli enemy, and the prevention of the entry of fuel and aid, depriving millions of Palestinians of clean, drinkable water.

UN calls for immediate probe into Israeli attacks on gatherings in Gaza
New York - Saba: The United Nations has condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli attacks on starving Palestinians queuing daily for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, calling for an immediate and independent investigation into these incidents. The UN position comes as Palestinians continue to be targeted at aid distribution points, leaving hundreds dead and wounded in a scene that exacerbates the ongoing genocide for the 22nd consecutive month. Israeli soldiers and officials have admitted to deliberately shooting at unarmed civilians simply seeking a livelihood. In a briefing to the UN Security Council, Khaled Khiari, the UN Assistant Secretary-General for Near East Policy, said, "We strongly condemn the horrific loss of life and injuries among Palestinians trying to obtain humanitarian assistance in Gaza." The UN official called for "an immediate and independent investigation into these incidents and for the perpetrators to be held accountable." He emphasized that "the United Nations will not participate in any aid delivery mechanism that does not respect the principles of humanity, impartiality, independence, and neutrality."

Britain: Israel needs to allow UN to save Gaza's lives
New York - Saba: Britain called on Israel to allow the United Nations to save lives in Gaza, while Tel Aviv continues its attacks on starving Palestinians queuing daily for humanitarian aid in the Strip. This came in a British statement delivered by Fergus Eckersley, the British Political Coordinator at the UN, to the UN Security Council on Monday during a meeting on the Middle East peace process. Apart from the oversight of the United Nations and international organizations, Tel Aviv and Washington have been implementing a limited aid distribution plan since May 27. The Israeli occupation army has been shooting Palestinians queuing for aid, forcing them to choose between starvation and being shot. Eckersley said, "The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's operations, which are supposed to save lives, are themselves resulting in massive human losses." This comes as attacks on Palestinians at aid distribution points continue, leaving hundreds dead and wounded in a scene that exacerbates the ongoing genocide for the 22nd consecutive month. Israeli soldiers and officials have admitted to deliberately shooting at unarmed civilians simply seeking a living. The British official stressed that Israel's measures to deliver aid to Gaza are inhumane and that it must allow the United Nations to save lives there. He continued, "We also need a ceasefire because the suffering in Gaza is horrific and cannot continue." Eckersley emphasized that "the United Nations is able to deliver aid to Gaza without endangering the lives of civilians." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
